The Pinball Resource stocks
replacement motors for your Favorite Pinball Machine. Listed below
are some of the replacement motors, belts, and gears we currently
stock. We also carry the Belts and Gears associated with these
motor's. If you don't see your motor, ask!

In
the attempt to avoid errors in purchasing motor rebuild kits, I
would like to clarify what these kits fit. Even though from the
photo, the kits look like they may fit your application, there are
a number of motors where these kits will not provide the correct
parts (and there is no kit assembled for these motors, these
motors need to come in for rebuild). The kits will work only on
motors where the first reduction gear shaft diameter is 5/64"
(0.078125"). Motors where the kits will not work include,
most commonly, a first reduction shaft diameter of 1/8"
(0.125"). Once the larger shaft in involved, there is a wide
range of parts that vary, making kits impractical.

Suggest calling us via the telephone to discuss
which kit you need (845) 473-7114, ask for Steve

On Sept. 1, 2010, Pinball Resource took over
the responsibility for repairs of older Multi Products,
Moto-Search, and United Manufacturing (UMC) gearmotors from Multi
Products who had been performing them. We are doing this with the
help and parts support of Multi Products, whom we would like to
thank for the opportunity and for the support.

Motors that will be serviced will be predominantly
as described below

Moto-Search....all motors

Multi Products...open
frame (visible gears) and closed gearbox (baseball,
bowler/shuffle and arcade). We will be able to repair motors that
are the DC or closed gearbox type but we dont wish to have the
repair business compete with the remanufacturing business. Please
ask us directly regarding the repairability of any Multi Products
motors that of these styles. With the passage of time, many of
these types of motors are being discontinued and are unlikely
candidates for remaking, so we are seeing many more requests for
repair. We have had good success with repairing these types of
motors. We still encourage you to look for an original or new
motor as an outright purchase may be less expensive than a repair.

UMC...As we took over this enterprise, we were
surprised as to how much old parts inventory was at Multi Products
for old UMC motors. We had no idea! We will see how many of these
repairs are possible as our experience develops; parts are limited
to old stock parts and Multi cannot make most new parts for these
styles.

We have been doing many of the gearmotor repairs
ourselves for years but we still have a learning curve to climb
for certain motors and situations.

Pricing and Turnaround

We will attempt to repair motors quickly. Where
parts are in stock, we anticipate within a week. Where we need to
obtain parts, the time factor will be longer. We have been
repairing many of these motors for some time and recognize that we
see anything from a simple repair to receiving a box of parts from
someone else's failed repair attempt. While we sell rebuild kits
for many open frame motors, if
you have no experience in performing the repair, please consider
carefully before you make the project more difficult (read
"costly") by attempting yourself. Pricing framework is
expected to be $100. flat fee plus parts. If we need to make an
exception, we will discussed with the customer before accepting
the work.We will attempt to keep the costs fair and reasonable as
is our reputation. Motors that are not repairable will be returned
(after discussion with the customer). Depending on the situation,
there may be an inspection fee for unrepairable motors depending
on the amount of time needed to disassemble. Return shipping
charges will apply.

Preparation and Packaging

We don't like surprise packages. In order to avoid
motors being sent in that are not within our scope, we ask that
all motor repairs be called in via the telephone IN ADVANCE (845)
473-7114, just so we can touch basis. One would be surprised how
often we receive packages without instructions/notes/return
addresses and have to wait for someone to call to question "what
happened to my ....?"

To the best of your ability, please remove the
gearmotor from your assembly. We suggest you take photographs if
you are unsure how to re-assemble. Please keep all cables and
attachments to output shafts. Please note there are exceptions to
this as some assemblies use blind taper pins, roll pins and other
types of attachment that are not easy to remove without
specialized tools. We love the blind taper pins the
most...requiring a milling machine cut into the opposite side of
the cam to find the other end of the taper pin. If in doubt,
PLEASE ASK before sending us a "surprise".

Please pack all motors tightly in newsprint in a
secure box. DO NOT USE styrofoam peanuts. Please take extra care
not to damage the electrical winding bobbin and its terminals,
this part is most difficult to obtain and to replace. If you take
care in packaging, we receive the motor in the best condition. It
is disheartening to receive a motor that would have been
simple/fast/cheap and find avoidable shipping damage that makes it
complicated/slow/expensive. Damaging a motor beyond repair
sentences the customer to finding a used motor somewhere as single
motors cannot be manufactured one at a time.
